GW originally had a slow rise, but it was removed for GWX. As with stock, unless you have some damage you can shut the engines down and hover for hours.

What I really interested in is when a calm sea prevails in SH3, to 'hang' in one position with no power for hours, listening on the hydrophone which should have a range beyond the horizon in such conditions, coming up when more oxygen is needed. Maybe this can be modded, with a basic minimal power drain on the batteries. This in effect would be a perfect ASW avoidance trick while waiting for something to appear - and even better for anti-ASW in perfect conditions.
You mean not at periscope depth, but deeper? Your own source says they couldn't do that. Anyway, the game already lets you do it.
